Larry Hechler Visit

During the last class we were honored to have Larry Hechler come and visit and explain to us a few things about computers. Something really interesting that I didnt know, and is useful for any computer or battery charged electronic is how to maintain a battery. For this Larry gave us four useful notes on computer batteries:

o   Don’t use it for 20 min and then plug it in

o   Run all the way down then charge it back up

o   Lithium ion batteries still get short cycle

o   Once a month run it all the way down and then charge it all the way up

After this talk I have already started to not charge my computer until the battery is run all the way down, not only for my computer but for my iphone as well. And i think it has actually helped!
